Helix, Correct; if I comment out the mail.server.username and mail.server.password in the generated / "final" dspace.cfg sending email works. Also, I was mistaken before regarding `dspace test-email`, it behaves the same way as the emails from the "Forgot Password" etc; I had previously stated that these were working regardless, but I was wrong.
This is probably a corner case for people using un-authenticated SMTP I guess... Ironically, I've been yelling at our ISP to enable authentication for years ;) Alan On 05/23/2013 12:34 PM, helix84 wrote: > OK, here's how I understood it: if you comment out > mail.server.username and mail.server.password, it works, but if you > leave them empty, it doesn't work (presumably because it sends empty > values). > > On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Alan Orth <alan.o...@gmail.com> wrote: >> If I comment out the mail.* settings in my production.properties file I get >> an error about circular definitions: > Yes, unfortunately, this is a known limitation of the Maven filtering > process as documented here: > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Configuration#Configuration-Thebuild.propertiesConfigurationPropertiesFile > > > I guess the the only solution we can provide in DSpace is not to send > username and password if they're both empty. > > > The relevant code is here: > https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.1/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/core/Email.java#L265 > > It seems to me the code should behave the same (username == null) > regardless of whether mail.server.username is commented out or has an > empty value.
